Hockey umpires a question - in yesterday’s World Cup QF games an outfield player with GK privileges was allowed to wear a normal GK OBO left hand pad for defending a PC.
Is this allowed?
NPUA is delighted to share the news that Dan Barstow has been appointed to the Odisha Hockey World Cup semi-final between Australia and The Netherlands tomorrow, along with Scotland’s Martin Madden.
Well done Dan Dan, your NPUA colleagues are very proud. Enjoy! 🏴
#HWC2018
Like the young players, Futures Cup is also the most important development and performance event in the calendar for our young umpires.
They work hard at developing their skills through the year in the hope of gaining selection for this prestigious tournament
The final day of the #HCT2018 is upon us and I’m delighted to say I’ll be in the video box for the Bronze medal 🥉 game between Argentina 🇦🇷 and China 🇨🇳 at 8.15am UK time ⏰
A proud day for NYUPL today - one of our alumni, Dan Barstow, is flying to India to umpire at the World Cup.
Dan umpired at the first ever Young Umpire Challenge in 2000 and has gone on to become one of the best in the world.
Here’s a photo from his early days in umpiring 😉
That’s more a question for a coach than an umpire 😉
From an umpire’s perspective, it is possible to defend this without receiving causing a foul. Unfortunately this defender didn’t do it correctly and a card is the correct decision here.
NYUPL alumni @spud_edwards (L) is currently in Singapore umpiring the Singapore Indoor National League along with @NPUAhockey colleague @baz2756 (R). Good luck Sean!
Good luck to NYUPL alumni @EShelbourn who is currently in China umpiring at the @FIH_Hockey Champions Trophy, starting with the first match between Australia and Argentina #WCT2018#GoodLuckShelbs
